Best way to determine areas optimum for section 8.

What is the best way to determine the areas of a large metro area that are best for section 8 rentals?

@Frank Newsome typically there is not a good separation on areas for Section 8.  You can have Section 8 renters typically in any area.   Of course a lot of depends on the specific market you are in.  I would have to imagine that you could have section 8 renters anywhere in Detroit. One thing to keep in mind is that in some markets, including mine, you cannot segregate against Section 8 renters.  I don't why you would want to anyway, since the income is guaranteed.  We have had very good luck with Section 8 renters as long as you do the appropriate background checks like normal.
